Description

SpanishPod is a language training service designed around your needs, rather than the traditional constraints of language schools and publishers. Technology solves these problems, and can make the learning of a new language easier.We take the best pedagogical approaches of the classroom, layer in the community features of the social web, and tailor a customized learning pathway for each student.SpanishPod NewbieIf you’re brand new to Spanish, this is the level for you. Newbie lessons are given in English, and when we introduce Spanish there is plenty of clear repetition. The dialogues are repeated three times, are translated, and then analyzed. Basic phrases and expressions used for courtesy and travel are emphasized, along with grammatical support for communication in the immediate present.SpanishPod ElementaryIn the Elementary level we’ll hear how to discuss events that happened in the present and past, and how to express opinions and preferences. This level features longer dialogues, more elements of grammar, and a wider range of everyday applications than the Newbie lessons. The hosts give a thorough treatment of lesson content, including grammar structures and pronunciation.SpanishPod IntermediateIf you’re comfortably understanding the Elementary lessons, you’re ready for Intermediate. At this level, we’ll begin to narrate events more precisely in the past, present, and future. In these lessons the hosts speak almost entirely in Spanish, with key explanations in English.SpanishPod Upper IntermediateAt the Upper Intermediate level we’ll show you how to add conjecture and conditionality to your speech. By this level, you should be comfortable speaking in the past, present, and future, so you’re ready to practice the dreaded Spanish subjunctive mood. We’ll be speaking primarily in Spanish, and shifting back to English for the occasional vocabulary item.SpanishPod AdvancedAdvanced lessons focus on introducing specialized vocabulary, practicing problematic grammatical features, and lively Spanish language discussion. The lessons are conducted entirely in Spanish, including explanations of grammar and vocabulary. They also feature more use of idioms than the lower levels.- This upload was asked upon request.- I’m seeding the 2007-2008 version, but the 2009-2010 version got deleted.- The other version present here  :   * Is smaller from 680MB, and with a weird files organisation.   * From a rapid check it seems not as updated as this old version (!). For example the lastest file of Advanced is E0499, where this version goes through E0540   * It has more files, but there is HTML and images content. But it has more text file, like script. You should check it out to complete this one.- With this version people are able to seed, reseed, as it has been spread all over the web from decades.
